Hi, my son bust a headlight on his F800GS while we were in Die Hel this weekend. It is R4224.18 (VAT excl) to replace. Anyone happen to have one lying around they wanting to part with? Outsurance want a R2000.00 excess surprise

your reflector still looks good ... there must be an 800GS owner out there with a burned reflector but a good lens that can help.

if I can suggest a headlight protector, when you do find the replacement headlight - at R700, the headlight protector can take the 'knock' - simply replace the lexan/acrylic piece if/when it gets taken out by a stone, and you have a very good chance of the headlight surviving, given the 25-30mm setback of th eguard from the light.

Cheers, Chris
